ABB 3AXD50000865079 Drive - ULH IEEE519-compliant irrigation
Part Number: 3AXD50000865079
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000865079 is an LV AC irrigation wall-mounted drive that precisely controls pumps in agricultural irrigation systems. Engineers face harmonic distortion, energy waste, and motor stress when pumps ramp up, making reliability and efficiency hard to achieve. This drive delivers IEEE 519 compliant low THD, unity power factor, and a UL Type 1/IP21 enclosure for exposed outdoor installations. Coupled with irrigation-specific software and fieldbus compatibility, it helps reduce downtime, optimize energy use, and simplify procurement and integration for water-management projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000865079 ABB: The ACQ580-31 ultra-low harmonic (ULH) irrigation wall-mounted drive provides an unprecedented compact design that delivers unity power factor with a 3% or less THiD. By meeting the most stringent requirement of the IEEE519 recommendations, the ACQ580 ULH irrigation drive produces the least amount of harmonic distortion to reduce stress on electrical equipment. The ACQ580-31 irrigation wall-mounted drives are available from 40-150 HP at 460V 3-phase. The drives are available in UL Type 1 (IP21).=20

The irrigation specific software is designed for irrigation applications, enabling easily programmed functions and protections. This innovative programming includes, quick ramps, level control, flow calculations, flow and pressure protection, dry pump protection, soft pipe fill, and others. These drives include fieldbus, I/O modules, and other options available for the ACQ580 irrigation packages.
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The ACQ580 ULH irrigation drive delivers IEEE 519 compliant performance with THDi ≤ 3% and unity power factor, dramatically reducing harmonic distortion and electrical stress on pumps, transformers, and switchgear. This enables longer motor life and more predictable operation in large irrigation pump stations and greenhouses. Application-wise, it supports 40–150 HP at 460V 3-phase, making it suitable for mid-to-large irrigation projects where efficiency and reliability matter. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Irrigation-specific software provides quick ramps, level control, flow calculations, flow and pressure protection, and dry pump protection, which translates to precise pumping schedules, reduced water waste, and safer startup sequences in variable-diameter irrigation networks. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The compact UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure simplifies installation in exposed outdoor environments and tight control cabinets, lowering panel costs and enabling faster commissioning for field deployments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Fieldbus and I/O module options streamline integration with PLCs and SCADA, reducing wiring complexity and enabling scalable control of multi-pump irrigation arrays. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Built-in protections and soft pipe fill minimize water hammer and fault-driven downtime, delivering lower maintenance costs and improved uptime in critical irrigation seasons.
